Gee he would be a handy pick up. We’re talking with him.

    He went to town against us a couple of weeks ago including 11 tackles and 18 contested possessions and is still only 23. Would be a great get for us.

    Definitely less of a queue for him at the Dees compared to GWS, think St Kilda also sniffing about

    Peatling is exactly the type of player we should have been pursuing over the past 3 years. Instead Lamb goes after 27yo unwanted players who's best was past them.

    Only seen him a few times.  But it’s a Yes from me.  He bought Giants back into contest v Lions.  Won 4 of 5 centre clearances.  Has the pace and skill and intensity to really make a difference.  Disposal efficiency high.  Tackling is a strength.   Interested to see if we could put a 4 year deal on offer.

    Has all the hallmarks of a future whipping boy but can do enough as a half back or half forward to fill a role and does his best as a tagger.

    And all signs point to us having at least 1 if not 2 or 3 midfield/defensive half forward players.

    Sorry meant he's stuck a bit low in the pecking order at GWS and wouldn't have that queue here. So we'd be able to offer regular first team footy etc

    We had no need for Peatling in 22 or 23. Certainly did this year with JJ and Gus going out.

    Definitely agree that we should’ve aimed for younger and higher upside recruits the last few years. Although they would’ve been dice roll types like Oleg Markov types not sure things.

    We can now offer cash, picks and importantly best 22 opportunities.

    I was referring to your 2nd paragraph, rather than specifically Peatling.

    Smashed us a few weeks ago and loved his inside.

    Stoked to hear we're talking to him.

    Any idea which way it could lead to?

    Cal on Gettable said plenty of interest in him, named St Kilda, Melbourne & West Coast. GWS have upped their offer.

    He is in my Supercoach draft team, so have been watching him closely over last few weeks. The kid can play when he gets a full game (been a sub for many games). Great clearance player, tackling machine and is very quick. Still a bit lanky but will continue to put on size with more preseasons. Out of all the trade targets we have had thus far (other than Houston), he is the one I’m most keen on - would be a huge addition to our midfield (for now and the future).

    Perfect target for us and one I’d prioritise over Houston - younger, cheaper and arguably fills a greater need

    Bump this thread. Tim Lamb … time to start your redemption!!!  Peatling would be an excellent addition.  Deserves a good 3-4 year contract at least.  His pace and run and tackling would add to our midfield.

    Its a shame he's not a Victorian. A local Western Sydney boy so if GWS are in fact upping their offer and can find a place for him in their best 22 then you would think he'll most likely stay.

    It will be very interesting to see what happens now that GWS have players returning from injury, coming back to that midfield rotation. If he doesn't get much opportunity through the finals this might sway his decision making.

    I can see him being their sub through the finals if they have a healthy list.

    Lamb is going after him so maybe give it a rest?

    You have skin in the game @Demon Time. I'm taking your recommendation seriously :-).

    Peatling would be a great get for the club. In all the games I've seen him (not too many), he's shown speed and Viney-esque levels of intensity and desperation (IMO) amongst other qualities, but they both stood out and it's what we lack.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
